13 March

If you’ve ever stood overwhelmed and unsure in the toy aisle, you know just how challenging it can be to find the perfect present for a preschooler. Not just any gift will do when it comes to inspiring young minds through imagination. Thankfully, there’s a play product that really stacks up.

More than a toy, LEGO® DUPLO® is a tool built on laughter and learning, designed to spark fun in the heart and hands of every child, sparking their curiosity and encouraging their independence. Here are six reasons LEGO DUPLO makes the perfect gift for any child ages 1-5:

1. Learning as child’s play. LEGO DUPLO may benefit your child’s motor, language, cognitive, social, and emotional development. Every time children build, they’re potentially developing coordination, communication and confidence through constructive play – and that’s just the beginning! Exploratory play through LEGO DUPLO may cultivate imagination, creativity and problem-solving skills. And with so much possibility, children become part of the action they’ve constructed, exploring emotion and adventure through pretend play. Brick after brick, learning can build. From ABCs and colors to patterns, shapes and so much more, LEGO DUPLO can provide the building blocks for your child’s developmental success.

2. Creativity is constructed. With LEGO DUPLO, ingenuity and artistry have the potential to come together to inspire limitless creativity. Young minds require tools that can keep up with active imaginations, and so LEGO DUPLO blocks can be easily transformed from beautiful butterflies and exotic zoo animals to wheeled wonders and whatever else the wildest imaginations come up with. If they can dream it, they can build it! With so much freedom and purpose in your child’s capable hands, every day becomes a new experience in play.

3. Safe play is the best play. Since 1958, LEGO bricks have been providing generations of young innovators with high-quality play products that parents can depend on. The LEGO Group knows even the smallest hands love building big dreams, so LEGO DUPLO bricks are designed to be twice the size of standard LEGO bricks for safe and accessible fun. With LEGO DUPLO, the peaceful play experience continues with no muss, fuss, mess, or pesky lack of volume control. Best of all, imagination powers your preschooler’s play experience.

5. LEGO DUPLO lasts. In fact, it lasts so long that you can pass it down from older sibling to younger sibling and even from parent to child – without worrying about the bricks breaking or wearing out. Magic from the moment the bricks are let out of the box – LEGO DUPLO is easy to use, easy to store, easy to take along wherever you go, and easy to tidy up. Stack incredible value onto high-quality materials, and you have durable products that grow with your child and generations to follow.

6. Sharing and caring. With plenty of pieces for friends and so many ways to share in the fun, LEGO DUPLO can bolster social development through the process of creative collaboration and team construction. With friendships built one brick at a time, more hands mean more fun!
